Morning Glories: No seed pods on Heavenly Blue, 1 by aardvark7

Apparently I was prematurely concerned - I see the pods are beginning to form. With the weather being so warm I guess they just weren't ready yet. (I can see that the pods are also shaped differently than the crimson rambler pods, more oval almost pointed at the end as opposed to round.)

When I found the seed pods forming, I also found another surprise - two, what I beleive to be, pink-spotted hawk moth caterpillars happily chomping away at my vines. They are ~4 1/2 inches long and diameter is about that of my thumb! I went back and forth, seed or caterpillars, and finally decided that the caterpillars look full grown and ready to pupate so I'll leave them alone and hopefully both seed and caterpillars will be fine.

Thanks for the feedback guys - I've learned alot about my HB MGs and the virtue of patience. ;)
